Nest can automatically tell your dishwasher to start when you’ve left, while your washer keeps your clothes fresh until you return. When you’re home, your washer, dryer and dishwasher can all run in Quiet Mode so you’re not bothered by noise. And all appliances including your refrigerator, can shift energy use to less expensive times.

During an energy rush hour, your Nest Thermostat can tell non-essential pool appliances like your pump, cleaner and heater to turn off, while essential activities such as chemical balancing and filtering stay on. And it can tell your pool cleaner to turn off when you get home.

If Nest notices you’ve left your house and your oven is still on, Home Connect can send you a notification with an option to turn it off. And when you’ve been away for a longer period of time, your refrigerator can ask you if you want it to go into eco mode. Also, if Nest Protect senses smoke or carbon monoxide, Home Connect can warn you and shut off your enabled home appliances to prevent them from being damaged.
